Wellness Canned Cat Food, Kitten Recipe,3-Ounce Cans,24 Pack.

Item came in good condition and earlier than ETA date. My 10 week old kittens were able to finish this quickly. It must be very tasty. Purchased during Black Friday sale. Wish prices could be lower so that I can buy on regular intervals.

I love this brand for my kitten. It’s a great cost for the quality and my cat loves it! I find it to be a better option to more affordable cat foods. This is a product I repurchase over and over again. It’s a great quality food if you care about your kitten’s health.

I bought this because I got a new kitten and wanted to do the best I could for her. I did some research and saw that this was one of the better rated foods at about the highest price I was willing to pay. She was a foundling at 2 weeks old and was bottle fed and then given friskies adult wet food. The woman didn’t really like cats, but did what she thought was the best. She had me take her at 5 weeks. I weaned her onto this food and she’s been growing like a weed since then. She comes running when I whistle her up to eat. I was actually surprised when I went to do this review and saw a lot of negative reviews, siting “white stuff”, bad smell, and causing sickness in there cat. I have ordered several cases from amazon at this point. It’s the 24-pack of 3oz. cans. I have never had issues. No bone shards, “white stuff”, or bad smells. It smells like kitten food and she can definetly smell it. You have to basically stick your nose in it; or have an unladylike like girl choke down half a can and then jump on your chest and burp in your face. So I can’t speak to the other reviews and I will be keeping an eye out, but I’ll continue to order this food. I’m happy with the ingredients and happy with the price. I think the ‘Core’ line is better, but at twice the price, the slightly quality improvement isn’t going to noticeable. She’s already way above the meow mix we had our old cat on at the same age. She also has access to Royal Canin dry food in case she gets hungry between morning and evening wet food. I read kittens should have access to food 24/7 till 1 year and then I’ll start limiting her intake. Having said that, there were posters saying their cats wouldn’t take it. She had both available from day one and she didn’t touch the dry food for 3 weeks. I finally figured she might not know it’s food and started sprinkling it over her wet food. She finally started eating it and now eats it between wet meals, but she still chokes down the wet before the dry. Lastly, someone mentioned reheating issues. They thought that microwaving it would make the center scalding. I found that using the lid or something, you can chop it up and 10 seconds just makes it warm, not hot. I’d recommend this food to people for the ingredients and price. I will keep an eye out for the issues others had mentioned.

I was shocked to open 2 full cases of this cat food and see that it had a white substance attached to the sides of the food. The substance looks exactly like mold that grows on cheese. I contacted the Wellness company and sent them pictures so they could determine the nature of the substance. They got back to me quickly to report that the white substance was part of the gravy. What???? There is gravy in the food; however, it does not have a white substance in it. The substance is attached to the food. I am concerned that the food could be making my kitten sick. He runs to his litter box after eating the food, has runny stools and his litter box smells horrible! After this occurrence I spent weeks researching safe and healthy cat food for my kitten and cat. I'd speculate that 98% of the cat food on the market today contains ingredients that are detrimental to the health of cats. I discovered a great deal of valuable information regarding the ingredients that cats should never consume because they've proven to cause serious diseases such as obesity; diabetes; kidney problems; allergies; and even cancer! Cat food should not contain: corn; wheat; rice; gluten; soy products; peas; any kind of sugar; meat by-products (because companies do not disclose where these by-products come from and can come from dead, decaying animals); animal digest; bone meal; poultry fat; palatants; brewers yeast; carrageenan (the FDA approved it for human consumption; however, humans should not consume it and it’s not suitable for cats either); guar gum; phosphates, pyrophosphates, and polyphosphates; salt; cellulose; colors (yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 2, red 3, red 40); and BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin (chemical preservatives), Xanthan gum; fish oil (fish is a common allergen for cats.) This Wellness food contains 4 of the ingredients that cats/kittens should not consume: natural flavorings, guar gum; fish oil and xanthan gum.

Updated Aug. 18, 2016: Unfortunately, after being more than a year of loyal Wellness canned food fans, we're disappointed to discover excessive amounts of bone fragments in the Chicken & Herring as well as the Turkey & Salmon pate options. Since April 2016, we've been going from retailer to retailer to sample all three sizes 3oz, 5.5oz, and 12oz cans of the mentioned flavors just to see if one retailer was selling inferior versions of the great Wellness products. To our double disappointment, the bone fragments were present in the products sold by Amazon, Chewy, Petco, and Petsmart. This just means that Wellness as a company is failing in quality control and to its loyal patrons. Let's face it. Yes, it's a first-world problem. However if you're even reading this, it means that YOU DO CARE about your royal felines. It also means that you're shopping for premium cat food and are (reluctantly) willing to pay promising companies like Wellness to deliver the utmost quality your hard-earned money can buy. And it's not like I can easily transition to another brand over night. I've tried and DIARRHEA is not fun, people :( What's going WELLNESS? Did your meat grinder fail earlier this year and no one in your QA department noticed? Old Review from 2015: My kitten was fed Royal Canin from the shelter. So I continued the regiment for a month until I noticed the bad breath and offensive odors from her pee/poop. So I switched her to Wellness complete kitten canned food. Wow, it's like magic to her system. No more bad breath. I'm not running to wash my hands after her love bites now. Pee is also odorless, yes, odorless. The poop is no more offensive than our #2s. Can't complain about hers when we're no angel in this area lol. People complain about the ingredient carrageenan but it's really choosing the least evil of all the options and formulas. She enjoys her Wellness grain-free food. Nature's Variety doesn't contain this ingredient but my kitty won't go near it. So one step at a time. Keeping her on wet food only really helped with the constipation too.
